Project Skylab

About

Project Skylab is a first-person shooter set on Mars where algebra problems replace traditional combat. You navigate a crumbling research station solving equations to progress through environments like labs and maintenance tunnels. Each correct answer advances the story while incorrect solutions trigger environmental hazards. The math ranges from basic equations to more complex functions all presented in a sci-fi context. The game’s educational focus makes it stand out among indie titles though it’s best described as a casual puzzle experience rather than an intense shooter. Released in 2018 it has a small but dedicated following with many praising its creative approach to learning. At around three hours long it’s a brief but functional blend of gaming and problem-solving for players who want to kill time while brushing up on math skills.
